It has risen like a huge mushroom cloud
\nRises high
\nOut of the desert and into the sky
\nAffluence opulence a clawing way
\nOf drawing the froth from the western decay
\nInto a hotch potch of islamic traits
\nWhere you hope for the best
\nAnd may wish you had skates
\nFor the etheric mood can swing badly away
\nAnd the foreign intentions just could spoil your day<\/p>\n
A so called mecca the lure for those who
\nWant a tax free abundance and a sky that is blue
\nWhere the worlds tallest buildings and the propertied are
\nExcessive service the penthouse the spa
\nProsperity riches resources we see
\nThe rich and the famous all want to be
\nDesigners refiners investors all see
\nWonderful night life this the mis- east
\nCreated with oil that black oozing beast<\/p>\n
Lavish profusion wasteful disregard
\nConsumerism life out here is hard
\nFor the influx of workers soon becoming slaves
\nWho are building the skyscrapers and finding their graves
\nArrive long before their life expectancy
\nFor hundreds are dying like flies actually
\nVery poor wages a dollar an hour
\nOn arriving their passports are taken and their power
\nGone they are now at the mercy of those
\nExcited entrepreneurs who suppose<\/p>\n
Everythings possible all that we do
\nIs throw millions of dollars an an enlightening crew
\nExpect the ants to just slave day and night
\nCreating the dreams from the nightmares in spite
\nOf hope and exhaustion still what we see
\nIs a large migrant base in a new purgatory
\nYou can just feel the angst and the anguish out there
\nEternal damnation with so few unaware
\nThe grief and the sadness the wretchedness too
\n6-12 in a room abused yes all through<\/p>\n
Harshness and sexual abuse comes to mind
\nMaids and western women can readily find
\nHarassment and rape and just no where to go
\nThe severity of this its out there on show
\nToo many demons in shadows do lurk
\nTrials and tribulations at play and at work
\nA mixture of cultures patriarchal displays
\nOf evil intent and frightening displays<\/p>\n
The marketings crazy its bedlam abroad
\nHigh flyers are wanted if they can afford
\nThe great loss of freedom and potential that can be
\nInflicted upon them and rapidly
\nThey possess no contracts and remain unpaid
\nAnd there is a huge death toll with no one to aid
\nThose who are ailing for nobody cares
\nNo unions permitted and so much that scares
\nThe daylights out of folks despite copious prayers<\/p>\n
Women can fall into much disrepair if raped or assaulted
\nThen they must share a cell with perhaps 30 poor cell mates who
\nLeft without resource its terribly true
\nAll the rich sportsman are lured to the place
\nIndulged with the showiness the airs and the grace
\nThe theatricality the demonstrativeness
\nPompous and pretentious and high sounded stress
\nAbuse it is everywhere in shadow land
\nIn the light on the beach in hotels all is grand
\nIf you have it you get it,if you havent you will find
\nThat hell comes and quickly to just blow your mind<\/p>\n
On a course where the low life and gutter take hold
\nWhere hostility grabs you the glitter of gold
\nMight have tempted you here might have worked up your spit
\nBut the loathing and intolerance where it does sit
\nIs rich in dissension and hostility
\nThe enemy cometh and vile it can be
\nLost in a land without passport or friend
\nAnd the embassy neglects you even to the end<\/p>\n
The paradise offerred may be turned on its head
\nIf you are an ethiopian maid who is led
\nTo work with a family and realise you
\nMust give of yourself or be broken into
\nRaped or attacked and have just no recourse
\nThey have your passports and they take you by force
\nBeat you and maim you and do terrible things
\nFor you are a women and they are the kings<\/p>\n
There is no respect misogynists rule
\nSuch moroseness and beatings are given they do
\nSuffer so much at the hands of the men
\nVillains and vandals who only know when
\nThey want what they want and they just take it too
\nAnd they beat up the women until they are black and blue
\nIt just makes no sense to leave home and come here
\nTo what is hell on earth, where you will live in fear<\/p>\n
They do say its transition and things will be fine
\nBut really you do have your neck on the line
\nIf you havent got money enough to go home
\nThen you end up in jail with no where to roam
\nMaybe you will escape or end up dead
\nThats what the illegal immigrants said
\nThis is the paradise this is the place
\nWhere oil drives the spend and where dreams all now chase
\nThe stony indifference the uninmaginative goal
\nThe billionaires excesses the priveleged role
\nOf gamblers investors rich bankers galore
\nWho come to expect an obedient whore<\/p>\n
This is Dubai a jewel in the sea sparkling azure
\nAs blue as can be
\nIf you are the master then mistresses will
\nBe lined up to take even blood they will spill
\nBut if you are a slave to their evil intent
\nThen draconian laws will make such a dent
\nOn your waking soul for violence will be
\nthere Without question thats a guarantee.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
